The media with so called experts claim that fossa is a close relative of mongoose allthough it got allot more feline features.

During the past when humans stept the first time into madagascar, it is told there lived a giant fossa that was big as a lion, proven by finding fossils in caves...

Anyway,i personaly would claim it belongs to the feline category or to absolutely new species.

What is the common name for the fossa?

The common name for the fossa is simply "fossa." It is a carnivorous mammal native to Madagascar, known for its cat-like appearance and agility. The fossa is the largest predator on the island and plays a key role in its ecosystem, primarily preying on lemurs. Despite its resemblance to a feline, it is more closely related to mongooses and civets.


How does the fossa gather their food?

[Side note - I have recategorised this because the Fossa is not a feline. It is from the Mongoose family, namely a member of the Eupleridae family.] The Fossa hunt and eat small and medium sized mammals, reptiles, birds and sometimes insects or even crabs. They will hunt both on the ground and in trees, they will hunt in packs during breeding season and alone at other times. The Eupleridae are related to the mongoose family, but are not true mongooses.
